Delicious breakfast alert! Who out there LOVES muffins, particularly blueberry muffins?? I'm a sucker for a fluffy sweet-yet-tart blueberry muffin every now and then, but the ones you get at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts are loaded with fat, added sugar, and preservatives - not an ideal healthy breakfast.

This homemade version uses coconut flour for a sight coconut-y flavor, and flaxseed meal as a vegetable oil replacement for more fiber and less fat. They also use delicious ripe blueberries that are the perfect combo of tart and sweet. I got these bluebs at Whole Foods the other day during their blueberry sale (50% off now through 2/9!) and I honestly think they're some of the best store-bought blueberries I've tasted in a long time. I have quite a few left over after making these muffins, so I think another blueberry recipe is in order (or maybe another batch of these?). In the meantime, I'll keep snacking on these muffins for breakfast. (Delicious idea: warm them up in the toaster oven or microwave with a little butter... yum!)

Instructions:

Combine flaxseed meal and water together and let sit for 2 minutes (this serves as your substitute for 2 Tbsp vegetable oil)

While flaxseed meal is thickening, combine milk, applesauce, egg, and vanilla into a large bowl

After flaxseed meal has set, combine into wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine flours, baking powder, Truvia, and salt

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until just combined

Gently add blueberries into the batter

Pour batter into muffin cups, leaving about 1/2" room to rise

Bake for 20-25 minutes until tops are golden and knife comes out clean

Readers: chat with me! Do you like blueberry muffins? What other blueberry recipes do you make? Do you like your blueberries on the tart side or sweeter? (I like mine tart.) Do you shop at Whole Foods often? If you do, what are your must-haves?
